NEW YORK STATE RURAL ADVOCATES 
Hi all greta to see everyone at the RHC conference. I just sent Vito a thank you for his support and comments just a reminder if you haven’t yet. also I wanted to begin on the video thing for the NYSRA. I was planning on a multi video thing breaking projects into senior, family special needs, etc and having these run concurrently in the hall if we can use it nancy is checking or i can do just one ongoing one. But we need pictures and short descrip[tion of funding an purpose. Please send these to astuck@accordcorp.org and we will begin working on this. If I burned some extra CD’s do you think staff at various legislative offcies would look at thes if we left them a copy??On another matter regarding land contracts. I spent some time with David Munchnick on this and he has made some contacts with the AG’s office to pursue the matter. To my understanding there is no regulations governing these or any disclosures or other consumer protections. This may be an opportunity to raise this issue to a non money housing protection issue in this year or next. Let me know if you would be willing to provide case horror stories or other info if needed and we get any traction on this. Charlie
